CBC SDK 1.5.0 - Released October 24, 2023
Alerts Update to use V7 API
The new Alerts V7 API will improve alert management and allow for easier management, consumption, and triage of alerts in the Carbon Black Cloud. Alerts v7 API extends the capabilities with improved methods of retrieving alerts and added functionality to manage alert workflow.
N.B.: This change involves breaking changes to the SDK involving the core Alerts workflow. Please check your existing code carefully before deploying this SDK upgrade.
Breaking Changes:
Alerts V7: Certain changes are not compatible with code written to the old V6 API. For details, please see the Alert Migration Guide. Breaking changes include:
Default Search Time Period is reduced to two weeks.
For fields that do not exist in the Alerts V7 API, a
FunctionalityDecommissioned
exception is raised.get_events()
method has been removed.All facet terms match the field names.
Workflow has been rebuilt.
Create Note returns a single
Note
instance instead of a list.
Official support for Python 3.7 has been dropped, since that version is now end-of-life. Added explicit testing support for Python version 3.12. N.B.: End users should update their Python version to 3.8.x or greater.
New Features:
Alerts V7:
Extended alert schema with additional metadata such as process command line and username, parent and child process information, netconn data, additional device fields, MITRE categorization when available, and more
Ability to mark alerts as “In Progress”
Ability to mark alerts as True Positive or False Positive
Additional fields available for both searching and faceting
Enhanced note management with the ability to add notes to both individual alerts and threats (alerts grouped by threat)
Observed Alerts have been removed from the Alerts API as these events are not considered actionable threats. They can now be retrieved via the Observations API.
External Devices: Added External Device Export and External Device Approvals Export.
Updates:
Audit log requests have moved from
CBCloudAPI
into their own function entry point in theplatform
package. The old function has been deprecated.Process search validation has been changed to use the V2
POST
API rather than the old V1GET
API.CBCloudAPI.get_notifications()
andCBCloudAPI.notification_listener()
have been marked as deprecated.
Documentation:
Added example script to poll for audit logs.
CBCloudAPI
documentation has been pulled out into its own page.Authentication, Getting Started, and Guides pages have been updated.
Concepts page has been removed, and the information it contained has moved to other pages.
New Searching guide added.
Update to left-hand sidebar to allow the Guides sub-listing to be collapsed.
Porting guide has been updated to reflect the latest APIs.
Live Response migration guide has been updated with links.
README.md
has been updated with better instructions for generating docs locally.CBCloudAPI
and Devices documentation have been updated to better conform to new style guide for docstrings.
CBC SDK 1.4.3 - Released June 26, 2023
New Features:

Host-Based Firewall - addresses the protection of assets based on rules governing network and application behavior.
Data Collection - control over what data is uploaded to the Carbon Black Cloud. Specifically, can enable or disable auth events collection.
Updates:
Added an example script for manipulating core prevention rule configuration and data collection status on a policy.
Changed
pymox
dependency to the latest version, which eliminates warning messages on unit test and provides compatibility with Python 3.11 and later.Added specific testing support for Python 3.11.
Added additional UAT tests for authentication events.
Many exception classes now carry a
uri
field which holds the URI of the API being accessed that caused the exception to be raised.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed link validation for reports and IOCs to accept IPv4 addresses, domain names, or URIs.
Documentation:
Documentation has been reorganized for ease of reference; guides have been added to the main menu, the menu has been reordered, and various modules have been renamed.
Fixed typo in workload guide.
CBC SDK 1.4.2 - Released March 22, 2023
New Features:
Policy Rule Configurations - allows users to make adjustments to Carbon Black-defined rules.
Core Prevention Rule Configurations - controls settings for core prevention rules as supplied by Carbon Black.
Observations - search through all the noteworthy, searchable activity that was reported by your organization’s sensors.
Auth Events - visibility into authentication events on Windows endpoints.
Updates:
Remove use of v1 status URL from process search, which now depends entirely on v2 operations.
Vulnerabilities can now be dismissed and undismissed, and have dismissals edited.
Bug Fixes:
User creation: raise error if the API object is not passed as the first parameter to
User.create()
.Live Response: pass failed session exception back up to the
WorkItem
future objects.Improved query string parameter handling in API calls.
Documentation:
New example script showing how to retrieve container alerts.
New example script allows exporting users with grant and role information.
Bug fixed in

Added the
alertable
field to feeds.Devices API now supports faceting on three additional (public cloud related) fields.
Added a user acceptance test script for the policy function updates.
Documentation:
Added information on OAuth authentication to docs.
CBC SDK 1.4.0 - Released July 26,2022
Breaking Changes:
Policy
object has been moved fromcbc_sdk.endpoint_standard
tocbc_sdk.platform
, as it now uses the new Policy Services API rather than the old APIs through Integration Services.N.B.: This change means that you must use a custom API key with permissions under
org.policies
to manage policies, rather than an older “API key.”To enable time to update integration logic, the
cbc_sdk.endpoint_standard Policy
object may still be imported from the old package, and supports operations that are backwards-compatible with the old one.When developing a new integration, or updating an existing one cbc_sdk.platform should be used. There is a utility class
PolicyBuilder
, and as features are added to the Carbon Black Cloud, they will be added to this module.
Official support for Python 3.6 has been dropped, since that version is now end-of-life. Added explicit testing support for Python versions 3.9 and 3.10. N.B.: End users should update their Python version to 3.7.x or greater.
New Features:
Credentials handler now supports OAuth tokens.
Added support for querying a single
Report
from aFeed
.Added support for alert notes (create, delete, get, refresh).
Updates:

Bug Fixes:
Added
max_rows
to USB device query, fixing pagination.Fixed an off-by-one error in Alerts Search resulting un duplicate alerts showing up in results.
Fixed an error in alert faceting operations due to sending excess input to the server.
Documentation:
Watchlists, Feeds, and Reports guide has been updated with additional clarification and examples.
Updated description for some
Device
fields that are never populated.Additional sensor states added to
Device
documentation.Fixed the description of
BaseAlertSearchQuery.set_types
so that it mentions all valid alert types.Threat intelligence example has been deprecated.
